Never going to happen whilst we are in L1 I fear, potentially not even in the Championship. |  |

So, Incase people don't get the news they want on 07:40 - Apr 7 with 1615 views | Cheltenham_Blue | Jackson would be good, but also Joe and Darren Royle to support him, (all available) We need an executive team at Portman Road IMO that can take some of the day to day decision making away from Evans. The question is whether or not Evans ego will allow them to get on with it, or if we will be 3 years down the line still in L1 with Evans back having the final say on everything and all three having resigned. Truth is, thats the very real fear. |  |

Cook given the staff he needs to do the best he can and enough support to get the players in he wants and the army of deadwood out. With Evans none of that will happen of course, but I can dream. |  | |  |

Would be nice but it's not happening any time soon, perhaps even less of a chance with the new owners should rumours be believed. |  | |  |

According to our Academy Mission statement that's our aim https://www.itfc-academy.com/our-academy/ To attain and maintain Category 1 Status and provide players for the first-team or the transfer market. |  |

Never happen. In fact I worry the new owners may shut the Academy a la Brentford. |  |

I hope that doesn't happen, I think the academy has a big role to play for us going forwards. Although from any new owners perspective if you take the last 5 years or so as a sample then the Brentford method has produced far more than our academy. It's an uncomfortable truth. SB |  | |  |

We missed a trick when the new system was set up. Evans didn’t apply for Cat 1 status then, to save a few quid, and by the time even he realised that was a huge mistake it was too late. The existing Cat 1 Academies effectively turned it into a closed shop. Massive error by Evans which has hurt us ever since. |  | |  |

Not when the system was first introduced. We missed out later by the minuscule amount you mention when Evans realised he had made a monumental error, but by that time the existing Cat 1 Academies realised they were on to a good thing and didn’t want anyone else joining the club! |  | |  |
